IC-F29DR3

Digital Licence-Free Comms with True Professional Durability.
32 Digital Channels and 16 Analogue Channels.

Pan-European Licence-Free Communication

The IC-F29DR3 meets pan-European digital and analogue licence-free standards. There are 32 digital channels and 16 analogue channels*. The IC-F29DR3 is ideal for organisations and businesses where the workplace is constantly changing such as construction sites and events.

* Number of channels may be restricted, depending on country.

Digital and Analogue Dual Mode

The IC-F29DR3 can be used in both digital (32ch) and analogue (16ch) mode at the same time and can scan both zones at once. This allows an organisation to operate both digital and analogue radios in their fleets.

IP67 Waterproof and Dust-tight

The IC-F29DR3 can withstand 1m depth of water for 30 minutes. This rugged construction provides dust-tight protection making it suitable for outdoor use.

Class Leading 1500 mW Powerful Audio Output

The newly designed internal speaker provides louder and clearer audio, allowing you to get your message across even in noisy environments. Optional HM-222HLWP can supply 1500 mW loud audio as an external speaker. 

Group Call Communication

Similar to analogue CTCSS and DTCS codes, the digital Common ID can be also used for a group call. These codes and ID can be programmed to the 16 position rotary selector for instant call capability.

VOX for Hands-free Operation

With either optional headset* HS-94LWP or HS-95LWP, the built-in VOX function provides convenient hands-free operation. The HS-94LWP/HS-95LWP has a waterproof connector.

Voice Announcement Function

When you rotate the rotary selector, the radio announces the selected channel number. The radio also announces the zone number and mode when the zone button is pushed.

12 types of Ring Tone

The Call-Ring function allows you to call your group members with 12 types of ring tone. When you prearrange any ring tone for an emergency, the ring tone can be used for an emergency alert.
